Oh..."The Cream" was the only band I ever saw live in concert (and promptly discovered my hyper sensitive hearing couldn't deal with the volume). Still, it was a sight to behold -- Baker as a tremendous talent on the drums. They don't make rock musicians like that anymore...

Hi Fred:

I'd be afraid to try. Most people can't hear sound until 20 decibels. I tested out at under 10 -- I don't recall what number exactly after all these years.

I couldn't wait for that concert to end (I was so miserable because the sound was actually painful to me) but was unable to leave because I was only fourteen at the time and went with my brother and his friends. I had to suffer it out because I couldn't go home alone.

Despite that -- it was neat seeing what was one of the greatest rock bands of all time. I guess if I was only going to see one of them during my life -- that was the one to pick.

Oh wait! I forgot! "Chicago" played at the Presidents ball when I was in college. But that was technically a dance and not a concert. That was really loud too...
